南极上空的臭氧空洞已达到年度最大范围，成为近年来最大的空洞之一。
自从1985年首次发现南极大陆上空的臭氧损耗以来，人们采取了各种措施来减少臭氧层空洞。
这些措施包括《蒙特利尔破坏臭氧层物质管制议定书》，该议定书限制了破坏臭氧层的卤烃。
尽管专家对臭氧层空洞正在慢慢恢复持乐观态度，但世界气象组织的克莱尔·纽利斯警告人们要继续致力于保护臭氧层。
“《蒙特利尔破坏臭氧层物质管制议定书》有效地淘汰了吞噬臭氧层的物质，它是有史以来最有效、最成功的环境条约之一。然而，我们不能自满。”
臭氧空洞在8月南极春季开始时规模最大，通常在10月左右达到高峰。
臭氧消耗依赖于极冷的温度。
科学家预测，春季的臭氧空洞将会变小，并作为季节性事件恢复。
